I wasn't going to comment on this story for obvious reasons, but since all these Polanski apologists are surfacing everywhere I just wanted to say: He drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl and then skipped town. Sorry, there's no excusing that, ever.

You really can't debate people who don't make any sense to begin with. He can argue that unrestricted spying and surveillance protects our lives if he wants to, but saying that it protects our civil liberties is the equivalent of arguing that red the same color as blue because I like green.
